After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

```

All five stones had been opened by Chen Yu, and one of them revealed the green brilliance inside.

Although not highly valuable, it still was top-quality green.

Moreover, the competition did not stipulate that only items of immense value must be uncovered.

Chen Yu didn't care about that and broke open the remaining stones.

The scene immediately exploded into an uproar, as all five stones yielded jade.

It's worth noting that Chen Yu had selected only five stones, which meant he knew in advance that these stones contained jade.

Other participants either picked more than a dozen stones or grouped together to take possession of large pieces of high-quality rough stones.

Yet almost nothing was uncovered from the stones in their hands.

"Who in the world is this guy? How can he be so lucky? He's opened five in one go."

"I've been in several competitions and haven't found a thing. Could this guy have been arranged by the organizers?"

"Why do I feel like I've seen this guy before? Seems like he's the Chen Yu who was on TV."

"I remember now, he's rumored to be a chef."

...

The place quickly became chaotic as people who recognized Chen Yu came forward, wanting to ask for his business card.

To some extent, Chen Yu was also a celebrity in Suzhou City, known not only for his culinary and medical skills but also for his excellent character.

What's most important is that his achievements in Suzhou City were simply too dazzling.

Chen Yu didn't pay attention to all of that, simply placing the five stones in front of the person in charge and heading straight for the third floor after obtaining his qualification certificate.

Hu Sanjiang was sitting in the VIP room at that moment, discussing several pieces of rough stones with a group of tycoons.

These stones, both in color and luster, were considered fine pieces, with a high probability of yielding exceptional jade.

"Mr. Hu, you are an old hand in this industry. How much do you think this stone should be valued at?"

Hu Sanjiang, quite pleased with himself, stepped forward to stroke the stone and tapped it with a professional tool.

"If you ask me, this stone is worth at least forty million at the least!"

According to the market, forty million was not a high price for this stone; if an exceptional item was uncovered, its value could potentially increase tenfold.

Even the most common jade, considering the size of this stone, could sell for more than fifty million.

Either way, it would be profitable.

The people present nodded in agreement; they all had their eyes on this stone, each wanting to buy it for themselves.

Hu Sanjiang glanced at the eager crowd and directly placed a contract on the table.

"Since everyone is interested, let's follow the rules of the auction house. Whoever bids the highest gets it."

The others did not say much and started bidding immediately.

"In my opinion, this stone is utterly worthless. Whatever you pay for it, you will lose."

The sudden voice surprised everyone present, and they turned to look, only to see Chen Yu strolling confidently inside.

The two security guards at the door, who had been blocking the way, were now laid out on the floor, unable to even stand.

Hu Sanjiang's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Who are you? What do you want to do? How dare you be so bold here? Do you know who's behind the jade stone business?"

Chen Yu did not answer but walked straight to the stone and gently caressed it.

"If I'm not mistaken, this stone should be synthetic, merely coated with a layer of olive oil-like substance on the outside, which is why the color seems so superb. Truly, inside it's nothing more than worthless granite."

A hint of panic flashed across Hu Sanjiang's face, and he quickly stepped forward to grab Chen Yu's shoulder.

```

"Brother, don't talk nonsense, my stone here is directly mined from the south, not even burnt once."

Chen Yu sneered coldly, raised his finger, and lightly touched the stone.

The gesture seemed casual, but the force it generated was immense, splitting the stone in half with a single touch.

All those present were startled and quickly came forward to inspect.

Indeed, the stone was filled with granite mixed with grey quality flame, completely worthless.

On the surface, some interlayers could be clearly seen, obviously made on purpose.

"Boss Hu, you've gone too far, trying to fool us with these things."

"With this junk, you dare to sell to us for forty million, you might as well go rob someone."

"Boss Hu, let's not work together in the future, and as for those contracts we just signed, I'll need to think it over."

...

The merchants were quite disdainful, stood up one after another, and left, leaving Hu Sanjiang there alone.

"Who exactly are you?"

Hu Sanjiang became utterly furious, pulling out a short knife from the side.

Chen Yu dodged the short knife with ease and sat down on a nearby sofa.

"Who I am is not important! What matters is that I came here to give money to Boss Hu."

Hu Sanjiang was full of confusion; if Chen Yu was here to give him money, why scare away all his customers?

Before he could react, Chen Yu took out a cashier's check from his pocket and placed it on the table.

"I've heard Boss Hu loves to gamble on stones here, and I came especially for that. How about we play a round? If I lose, this one hundred million is yours."

Hu Sanjiang instantly lit up with excitement, not expecting Chen Yu to be so generous.

"You want to play with me? You may have got the wrong person. I have a reputation in the jade industry, and every stone I handle can turn into a precious gem."

Chen Yu remained silent, merely pushing the cashier's check a bit closer to Hu Sanjiang.

"Then, please enlighten me, Boss Hu."

Seeing a hundred million laid out so generously before him, Hu Sanjiang didn't say much more and immediately notified the staff downstairs to make arrangements.

The third floor was designed for the convenience of guests gambling on stones.

It not only had dedicated service staff but also professional stone-splitting masters.

Even the stones brought up were carefully selected.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

In the middle of the third floor was a large hall where a vast array of raw stones was displayed, and those participating in stone gambling could freely choose from them.

Chen Yu and Hu Sanjiang didn't hesitate and went out the door.

Hu Sanjiang walked leisurely to the pile of jade stones and gently pointed at one.

"Brother, I have made my choice; now it's your turn."

Chen Yu didn't say much either, simply picked up a stone the size of a baby and went into the room.

Hu Sanjiang was stunned at first, then started laughing heartily, holding his stomach.

In the jade industry, there was an unwritten rule that if both parties chose stones to gamble, the stones selected must be more or less the same size.

Hu Sanjiang's stone was as big as two adults, with many protruding parts.

Chen Yu's chosen stone was only a tenth the size of Hu's, which was practically tantamount to giving up.

In other words, Chen Yu was indeed here just to give him money.
